Partner With Us

Corporate Partners

Companies partner with Pupcycled to host a toy-making event for their own employees. Your team turns donated fabric into dog toys with their own hands, working side by side with coworkers they might not otherwise cross paths with. It's a hands-on afternoon that extends the life of donated fabric and ends with something real for a shelter dog waiting for it. We ship the supplies — your team brings the hands.

Types of Partners

Shelter Partnership

Shelter partners gain access to Pupcycled’s handmade, upcycled dog toys—crafted to comfort and engage adoptable pets. Partnering with Pupcycled also opens opportunities to co-host adoption or toy-making events that attract volunteers, raise awareness, and highlight your shelter’s incredible work.

Community & Nonprofit Partners

Nonprofits, schools, and conferences invite Pupcycled to bring a toy-making session into something they're already building — a community day, a conference breakout, a reading challenge, a volunteer fair. We ship the supplies, your attendees turn donated fabric into dog toys on the spot, and everyone walks away with a hands-on activity that's a little different from the usual booth or breakout session. It's an easy add for any organization looking to give its people something memorable to do with their hands, while the toys themselves go straight to shelter dogs who need them.

 Partnership FAQs

  • Yes! A Pupcycled volunteer may be able to come support hosting your toy-making event. However, since we are a 100% volunteer-ran nonprofit, we cannot guarantee a volunteer will be available at the time of your event. Please reach out to info@pupcycled.org if you would like assistance.

  • Pupcycled aims to minimize the cost it takes to participate in our events, and that includes the cost of materials and shipping. However, this means it may take up to ~1 month to receive materials when we pay for the shipping label. We try our best to have them delivered by the date of the event!

  • At Pupcycled, we want to give the most positive experience we can to our shelter partners, and that includes covering 100% of the toy donation shipping. However, sometimes, our toy pile runs dry as our volunteers work hard upcycling more, especially for sewn/plush toys. This means it may take up to ~6 months to receive toy donations.

  • We make two types of toys: braided or woven rope toys and sewn plush toys. Our toys are made of t-shirts, denim, or other recycled fabrics. You can check out photos on our Instagram @pupcycledtoys or here on our website!

  • We typically donate anywhere from 25-100 dog toys, depending on shelter need and our availability of toys.

  • Any shelter, including ones without a physical “home base”, can qualify for donation! Many of our shelter partners have chosen to give our toys to owners in adoption care packages, foster families, or their own pups!
